As for the dead, my mother may be dead but she remains my mother. Death cannot change what has already happened.

I agree. Except I would say she WAS your mother. We talk of things which already happened in the past tense. As in, My team “won” the Superbowl.

But really, we are arguing semantics only.

No, she IS my mother. Nothing can change that.
